working order. It is also important to remember that correct signalling
sequence of headlights includes.

6.2 Tractor Stability and Lifting Capacity Check

When machine is jointed to tractor, It becomes an integral part of it. Attached
equipment’s weight is closely related with road position and stability of tractor. In
normal conditions, it is assumed that 20% of tractor weight is carried by front axle.
In this case, attached equipment’s weight should not be greater than 30% of
tractor weight. This factor can be summarized in following formulas:

14
 When machine is attached to tractor, front weights should put through above
mentioned formula. These weights should be calculated according to capacity of
tractor’s lifting weight and packing.

7 USAGE OF MACHINE

9. MAINTENANCE

15
Here follows a list of various maintenance operations to be carrying out
periodically. Lowered operating costs and a longer lasting machine depend,
among others, on the methodical constant observation of these rules.

The maintenance periods listed in this manual are only indicative and are for on
normal conditions on use therefore be varied depending the kind of service, the
more or less dusty surroundings, seasonal facfors, etc. For more serious
conditions of service, maintenance will logically be done more often. Before
injecting grease, the nipples must be cleaned to avoid must, dust and foreign
bodies from mixing with the grease; otherwise they will reduce or even annul the
effect of the lubrication.
- After use wash the equipment thoroughly.
- After the every eight hours of work check that all the bolts are still tight.
- For all greasing points use the suggested grease and if your machine has
gearbox use the gearbox oil. After 400 working hours replace the gearbox
oil new one completely (4L).

At the end of the season or if a long period of rest is for seen it is advisable:
- Carefully check worn or damaged parts and replace if necessary.
- Tighten all screws and bolts.
- Grease the all unpainted parts. Protect the equipment with a cover (such
as nylon and etc.)
- Keep your machine in a dry place. Don’t move it and keep away from
unauthorized people.
- If these operations are done carefully, it will be total advantage for you
because next season your machine will be perfectly ready to work.
- Finally, we remind you that the manufacturer is always available for any
and all necessary assistance and spares.
